Title: for graft users, how long have you had your graft?
Post by: sullidog on November 30, 2011, 06:57:36 PM

I have had my graft for a year and a half now, and I know the life of a graft is about 2 years so I was wondering how long have some you with grafts had them? I know kitkats had one for a long time I was just kind of getting a general idea. Mine has a great flow, it's just getting harder to canulate do to the scarring. When your graft failed what happened did it just clot or what caused you to retire it?

Jenna had hers for 3 years, they did buttonholes and it never clotted. It quit working the day of her transplant.
